To all whom it may concern Be. it known that 1, Nelson Eonnn'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Valois, in the county of Schuyler and State of New York, have invented new .and useful Tin-i provements in Dish-Washing Machines, of which the following is a specification;

This invention is an improved dish washing machine adapted fpr family use, and also for hotels and other like places, the obj ect of the invention being to provide an improved machine of this character which is cheap and simple in construction, which is compact and portable and by means of which dishes and the like maybe readily Washed and dried and without the necessity of being wiped.

In the accompanying jdrawings:'-Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a dishwashing machine constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of'the same on the plane indicated by the line a-a of Fig 1. Fig. 3 is a similar -view on the plane ndicated'by the line 6-?) of Fig.1.

The bbdy 1 of the machine is here shown as of oblong, rectangularform but may be of any suitable shape. The body may be made of wood or other suitable material.

Supporting legs 2 are provided which are' arranged in the corners and in the body is an inclined falsebottom 3'the lower end of which is near and spaced from one end of the body. The'cover' l is hinged at one side 'as at 5.. -Bars 6 extend transversely across the body at suitable distances apart,the

plates, saucers and other like dishesbeing adapted to be stood on edge and arranged between the said bars and held in place, in vertical position, for washing, as illustrated. Near the top of the body are suitable supports 75 for cupsand other like articles.

Racks 8 for holding knives, forks and.

spoons are also provided and arranged at p one side of the body.

A pump 9 has a vertical barrel 10 which is arranged near the front end of the body and between-said end and the lower end of the false bottom 3. A spout 11 is provided in the bottom of the body near the pump and has a suitable valve 12.
